스피릿 항공(NYSE:SAVE)이 파산 신청을 고려 중이라는 소식이 퍼지자, 비판자들은 소셜 미디어를 통해 바이든 행정부를 비난했다. 그 이유는 무엇일까? 올해 1월, 미국 반독점 규제 당국이 제트블루 항공(NASDAQ:JBLU)의 38억 달러에 스피릿 인수를 차단한 사건을 기억해 보자. 실제로 지난 4년 동안, 규제 당국은 경쟁을 저해한다고 판단되는 인수합병 활동을 종종 저지해왔다. 예를 들어 크로거(NYSE:KR)와 앨버트슨(NYSE:ACI)의 250억 달러 규모 합병과 같은 사례가 있다.

Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has called out the tax reduction plans of the Donald Trump-led administration in an X post, terming them as an &#8220;absolutely shameless giveaway,&#8221; that could shoot up the deficit by $4.6 trillion.
What Happened: The possible tax cuts for rich individuals and lower corporate tax rates are likely to widen the U.S. trade deficit, which the Trump 2.0 administration would most likely fund from the tariffs imposed on its trading partners.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit.

Why It Matters: Trump has threatened all its trading partners with &#8220;reciprocal tariffs,&#8221; while already having implemented 25% on steel and aluminum imports.
According to economists like Craig Shapiro, who is a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, tariffs are the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43587245/tariffs-are-the-only-way-to-fund-tax-cuts-without-deficit-expansion-argues-expert-as-it-takes-center-stage-in-donald-trumps-economic-plan">only way</a>" to fund tax cuts without expanding the federal deficit. 
Shapiro likened Trump&#8217;s governance to that of a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43763438/trump-acting-like-a-mafia-don-says-this-economist-as-uncertainty-mounts-businesses-hold-back-in-fear-of-unforeseen-economic-shifts">Mafia Don</a>,&#8221; saying businesses are now uncertain about the economy&#8217;s direction. He noted fading &#8220;initial euphoria&#8221; and a &#8220;wait-and-see&#8221; approach from business leaders due to unclear policies, tariffs, trade agreement uncertainty, and fluctuating government spending. &#8211;
Price Action: On Friday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) which track the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, closed mixed. SPY fell 0.0049% to a value of $609.7, and QQQ was up by 0.42% to end at a value of $538.15, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Trump's Tax Cut Could Add $4.6 Trillion To Deficit, With $48 Billion Tax Relief For Top 100 Firms: Robert Reich

Department store chain Kroger Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) has disclosed its succession&nbsp;plan for Chief Financial Officer role.
David Kennerley, who is currently the senior vice president and CFO for PepsiCo Inc Europe, will step into the role of senior vice president and CFO at Kroger beginning April 3, succeeding Todd Foley.
Kennerley will officially join the company on March 10, with Foley continuing as interim CFO until the end of Kroger&#8217;s fiscal year 2024.
In 2021, he was appointed group vice president and corporate controller; in 2024, he took on the role of interim CFO.
Foley will remain part of the senior leadership team, helping with the transition until the close of Kroger&#8217;s first quarter.

On the other hand, Kennerley has had an extensive career at PepsiCo, joining the company in 2001. He has held several important roles, including serving as CFO for PepsiCo Europe.
&#8220;Consistent with Kroger&#8217;s history of thoughtful succession planning, David and Todd will transition seamlessly to ensure Kroger continues to deliver on its go-to-market strategy, providing access to fresh, affordable food for families across America and, by doing so, creating long term shareholder value,&#8221; said&nbsp;Chairman and CEO Rodney McMullen.
In December, competitor Albertsons Companies Inc called off its planned merger with Kroger and took legal action against the grocery giant, claiming that Kroger breached the merger agreement by not doing enough to obtain the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42444582/albertsons-puts-an-end-to-merger-deal-sues-kroger-following-court-ruling-we-believe-strongly-in-the-merits-of-our-case" rel="noreferrer noopener">necessary regulatory approval</a>.
Price Action: KR shares are trading higher by 0.70% at $65.51 at the last check Wednesday.

Goldman Sachs Reinstates Buy on Albertsons Companies, Announces $26 Price Target

Egg prices in the U.S. have risen 60% over the past year, due in large part to the bird flu ravaging commercial flocks. Here's a look at why experts see the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43117087/bird-flu-update-first-commercial-case-in-georgia-moderna-receives-590-million-to-develop-vaccine"> prices continuing to climb.</a> 
The Details: The average price for a dozen large, grade-A eggs rose 60% over the past year, reaching $4.15 in December, according <a href="https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APU0000708111">to data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The USDA predicts egg prices <a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings#:~:text=In%202025,%20prices%20for%20all,of%20-2.7%20to%205.5%20percent.%5C">will </a>rise another 45% in 2025 due to a strain of bird flu known as H5N1 that killed 13.2 million commercial egg-laying hens in December.

On top of the record-high prices, consumers are also facing egg shortages and purchase limits at major retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Albertsons Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>). 
Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that a record number of more than 20 million egg-laying chickens died in the last quarter due to bird flu.&nbsp;
In an attempt to contain the virus, farmers are compensated for chickens and eggs that are destroyed through a USDA program which said it had paid out $1.25 billion to farmers since the outbreak started in 2022, according to a CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/egg-industry-chicken-deaths-bird-flu/">report</a>.&nbsp;
In fact, egg producers are reporting record profits during the latest bird flu outbreak. Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NYSE">CALM</a>), the nation's largest egg producer, reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/42862269/cal-maine-foods-stock-climbs-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat"> its most recent </a>quarterly revenue at $954.7 million, well above the $751.49 million consensus estimate.
The company attributed its high revenue in part to restricted supply resulting from bird flu outbreaks. Cal-Maine Foods stock has gained more than 75% over the past six months.&nbsp;
Telsey Advisory Group analyst Sarang Vora initiated coverage this week on Vital Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITL#NASDAQ">VITL</a>), a smaller producer specializing in pasture-raised eggs. Vora said he sees the company&#8217;s sales growing at an annual growth rate of 19% to 20% and hitting the $1 billion mark in 2027, versus $600 million in 2024. 
This week, Rose Acre Farms, the second-largest egg producer in the U.S., confirmed its chickens had tested positive for bird flu, likely extending the period of high egg prices and shortages.

미국의 계란(달걀) 가격이 주로 조류 독감으로 상업용 가금류가 큰 피해를 입었기 때문 지난 1년 동안 60% 상승했다. 전문가들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43117087/bird-flu-update-first-commercial-case-in-georgia-moderna-receives-590-million-to-develop-vaccine" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">가격이 계속 상승할 것</a>으로 보고 있는 이유를 살펴보겠다.
상세 내용: 대형 A급 달걀 1판의 평균 가격이 지난 1년 동안 60% 상승해 12월에는 4.15달러에 달했다. 이는 <a href="https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APU0000708111">노동통계국</a>의 데이터에 따른 것입니다. 미 농무부(USDA)는 H5N1이라는 조류 독감 바이러스 변종이 12월에 1,320만 마리의 상업용 산란용 닭을 죽여서 2025년까지 달걀 가격이 추가로 45% 상승할 것이라고 예측하고 있다.
다음 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/43343648/all-60-passengers-4-crew-members-onboard-american-airlines-jet-feared-dead-after-midair-collision-official-says">미국 항공기 중간 충돌로 64명 사망, 2001년 이후 최악의 항공 재난 </a>
기록적인 고가 외에도 소비자들은 주요 소매업체인 코스트코 홀세일(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>)과 앨버트슨스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>)에서 달걀 부족과 구매 제한에 직면하고 있다.
미국 농무부의 데이터에 따르면 조류 독감으로 인해 지난 분기 동안 2천만 마리 이상의 산란 닭이 사망한 기록이 있다.
이 바이러스를 차단하기 위한 노력의 일환으로, 농부들은 파괴된 닭과 달걀에 대해 USDA 프로그램을 통해 보상을 받는다. CBS 뉴스 <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/egg-industry-chicken-deaths-bird-flu/">보도</a>에 따르면, 2022년 발병 이후 농부들에게 12억 5천만 달러가 지급되었다.
실제로 달걀 생산자들은 최근 조류 독감 발병 중에 기록적인 수익을 보고하고 있다. 칼메인 푸즈(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NYSE">CALM</a>), 미국 최대의 달걀 생산업체는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/42862269/cal-maine-foods-stock-climbs-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat">최근 분기 매출이 9억 5천 4백만 달러</a>로, 7억 5천 1백 49만 달러라는 컨센서스 추정치를 크게 웃돌았다고 보고했다.
이 회사는 조류 독감 발병으로 인한 공급 제한이 매출 증가의 일부 원인이라고 설명했다. 칼메인 푸즈의 주가는 지난 6개월 동안 75% 이상 상승했다.
텔시 어드바이저리 그룹의 애널리스트 사랑 보라(Sarang Vora)는 이번 주에 바이탈 팜스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITL#NASDAQ">VITL</a>), 풀밭에서 기른 달걀을 전문으로 하는 중소 생산업체에 대한 분석을 시작했다. 보라는 이 회사의 매출이 연평균 19%에서 20% 성장하여 2027년에는 10억 달러에 이를 것으로 보고했다. 이는 2024년 6억 달러에 비해 증가한 수치이다.
이번 주, 로즈 에이커 팜스(Rose Acre Farms), 미국에서 두 번째로 큰 달걀 생산업체가 조류 독감 양성 반응을 보인 닭을 확인하여 달걀 가격과 부족 기간이 연장될 가능성을 높였다.

화요일(10일) 크로거(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) 주가는 미국 판사가 앨버트슨(Albertsons Companies Inc)과의 합병을 막았다는 보도가 나온 후 상승 마감했다.
무슨 일 있었나: <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-10/kroger-s-24-6-billion-albertsons-deal-blocked-by-federal-judge?embedded-checkout=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">블룸버그</a>에 따르면 애드리안 넬슨 미국 지방 판사는 화요일 오리건 연방법원에 제출된 판결에서 미국 연방거래위원회(FTC)의 손을 들어주었다. 넬슨 판사는 크로거와 앨버트슨의 합병 거래가 식료품 분야의 경쟁에 영향을 미칠 것이라고 판단했다.
FTC는 이번 합병 제안이 독점 금지법을 위반한다고 주장했다. 두 회사는 FTC에 적절한 경쟁을 유지하기 위해 수백 개의 매장을 C&amp;S 홀세일 그로서스(C&amp;S Wholesale Grocers)에 매각하는 계획을 제출했다. 넬슨 판사는 화요일에 이 매각 계획이 합병의 결과로 영향을 받을 경쟁을 대체하기에 충분하지 않다고 판결했다.

이 합병 거래가 승인된다면 크로거는 미국 전역에 걸쳐 약 5,000개의 매장을 소유하게 될 것이다. 로이터에 따르면, 크로거와 앨버트슨은 재판에서 월마트나 아마존 같은 글로벌 대기업과 경쟁하기 위해서는 합병이 필요하다고 주장했다. 한편, 식료품 노동조합은 합병이 일자리 감소로 이어질 가능성이 있다고 주장하며 합병을 비판했다.
이번 판결은 아마도 합병 거래의 종료를 의미할 것이다. 양사의 변호사들은 판사가 FTC의 손을 들어줄 경우, 이번 거래는 무산될 가능성이 높다고 말했다.
합병을 차단하는 판결 소식에 크로거의 주가는 5% 이상 급등한 반면, 앨버트슨의 주가는 4% 가까이 하락했다.
크로거 주가 움직임: 크로거의 주가는 올해 들어 지금까지 약 32% 상승했다. <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benzinga Pro</a> 데이터에 따르면, 화요일 종가는 5.14% 상승한 60.73달러였다.

스피릿 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>)이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41182466" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">파산 신청을 고려</a> 중이라는 소식이 퍼지자, 비판자들은 소셜 미디어를 통해 바이든 행정부를 비난했다.
그 이유는 무엇일까? 올해 1월, 미국 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36648448/jetblue-spirit-airlines-merger-blocked-spirit-shares-tumble">반독점 규제 당국</a>이 제트블루 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>)의 38억 달러에 스피릿 인수를 차단한 사건을 기억해 보자. 실제로 지난 4년 동안, 규제 당국은 경쟁을 저해한다고 판단되는 인수합병 활동을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40693260/kroger-albertsons-merger-in-ftc-crosshairs-customers-competitors-at-risk">종종 저지해왔다.</a> 예를 들어 크로거(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/kr" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for KR" data-google-interstitial="false">KR</a>)와 앨버트슨(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aci" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for ACI" data-google-interstitial="false">ACI</a>)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/22/10/29266605/kroger-albertsons-finally-seal-the-rumored-merger-deal-see-highlights">250억 달러 규모 합병</a>과 같은 사례가 있다.
제트블루/스피릿 사건도 다르지 않았다. 이번 주로 넘어가면, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/spirit-airlines-in-talks-with-bondholders-over-terms-of-potential-bankruptcy-filing-fdd23fae">월스트리트 저널</a>이 보도한 바와 같이 스피릿은 채권자 및 채무자들과 협상 중이며, 챕터 11 파산이 문제를 해결할 최선의 선택인지 검토하고 있다.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Biden and Harris torched the merger. Now many will be without a job.
&mdash; Ottoman (@raddadcomments) <a href="https://twitter.com/raddadcomments/status/1841958271655280659?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 3, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"></div>
</figure>
관찰자들은 제트블루의 인수로 일자리가 유지되고 항공사 자체가 구제될 수 있었을 것이라고 주장했다. 스피릿의 문제는 여러 대의 에어버스 비행기를 터보팬 엔진 문제로 운항 중지해야 했던 것에서 비롯된 것임을 주목할 필요가 있다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카 증권의 분석가들은 1월에 스피릿의 지속적인 엔진 수리가 &#8220;전통적인 초저가 항공사 모델&#8221;에 악영향을 미쳤다고 언급했다.
플로리다주 다니아 비치에 본사를 둔 스피릿은 또한 &#8220;가격에 민감한 레저 여행객들 간의 치열한 경쟁&#8221;과 국내 항공편 좌석의 공급 과잉&#8221;을 재정적 어려움의 원인으로 꼽았다.
&#8220;이 모든 것은 바이든과 그의 FTC 팀 덕분이다. 잘했다, 조!&#8221;라는 한 소셜 미디어 사용자의 글이 올라왔다.
선례를 보면 제트블루와의 거래가 스피릿에게 안전망이 되지 않았을 것이라는 점은 분명하다. 대부분의 주요 항공사 인수합병은 타겟이 부실 자산이든 아니든 일자리 손실로 이어지기 때문이다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41178053/spirit-airlines-engages-in-bankruptcy-talks-amid-financial-struggles-report">스피릿 항공, 금융적 어려움 속에서 파산 협상 진행 중</a>
합병의 규모와 영향은 합병의 크기와 같은 여러 요인에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 주요 합병으로 인한 일자리 손실의 몇 가지 예시는 다음과 같다:
<ul>
<li>아메리칸 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>)과 US 에어웨이스(US Airways): 2013년 인수 합병 후 몇 천 개의 일자리가 사라졌다. 추정치는 1,500~3,000개의 직위가 줄어들었다.</li>
<li>유나이티드 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)과 콘티넨털 항공(Continental Airlines): 2010년 합병으로 약 1,500~2,000개의 일자리가 사라졌다. 이러한 감축은 주로 중복된 기업 및 관리 직책 때문이었다.</li>
<li>델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)과 노스웨스트 항공(Northwest Airlines): 2008년 합병은 결합된 항공사가 성장하는 데 도움을 주었지만, 약 2,000~3,000개의 일자리가 사라지는 결과를 초래했다.</li>
</ul>
항공사 합병은 종종 노선 및 용량 최적화를 통해 덜 수익성이 좋은 분야에서의 인력 필요성을 줄인다. 연료 및 인건비 절감과 같은 비용 시너지는 추가 감축을 촉발할 수 있다. 항공기 통합은 구형 항공기를 퇴출시키고 기술직 직원들에게 영향을 줄 수 있다.
노조 합의 및 노동 계약은 합병된 항공사가 인건비 및 복리를 조정함에 따라 해고로 이어질 수도 있다.
모든 합병이 심각한 일자리 손실로 이어지는 것은 아니지만, 파산도 마찬가지이다. 회사가 챕터 11을 신청하면 부채와 운영을 재조정하면서 운영을 계속할 수 있어 재정적으로 생존할 기회를 제공하므로 때로는 일자리를 구할 수 있다.
이 과정에서 회사는 계약을 재구성하고, 채권자들과 재협상하며, 운영을 효율화할 수 있다. 이는 완전 청산에서 잃어버릴 일자리를 보호하는 데 도움이 될 수 있다. 해고가 발생할 수 있지만, 챕터 11은 사업이 회복되고 일부 인력을 보호할 기회를 더 많이 제공한다.
스피릿의 부채는 월스트리트 저널에 따르면 약 33억 달러에 달한다.
최근 항공사 파산 사례로는 2017년에 발생한 버진 아메리카(Virgin America)와 모나크 항공(Monarch Airlines), 2019년 와우 에어(WOW Air), 2020년 LATAM 항공 그룹 SA(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTM#NYSE">LTM</a>)가 있다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41123208/latam-airlines-earnings-will-remain-higher-for-longer-says-bullish-analyst">모건 스탠리의 애널리스트에 따르면</a>, LATAM은 2022년에 파산에서 회복되어 더 강하고 더 크고 효율적으로 재편성되었다.
다음은 (What's Next): 스피릿이 파산 절차를 진행할지 여부는 아직 불확실하다. 금요일 스피릿 주가는 24.55% 하락하여 1.69달러에 마감되었다. 이후 시간외 거래에서 1.78% 추가 하락했다.
2024년에는 주가가 89% 이상 하락했다.
